During his appearance on the Drink Champs podcast, Kanye West mentioned something interesting: he’s been trying to pay Beanie Sigel some money for coming up with the name of his company “Yeezy.”
When N.O.R.E. asked further, Ye explained that it was the State Property rapper who used to call him “yeezy” during his Roc-A-Fella days which Kanye ran with and created a billion dollar empire as we are all aware. Fans were wondering how much Kanye is actually looking to pay Beans.
